ISPConfig3, mail issues

Hi,
I'm experiencing issues with e-mail on my server.
I setup the ISPConfig3 as "usual" (by following a tutorial) and everything has worked out great!
Untill now.......

Mail is queing and log is filling with:

Nov 24 21:44:31 hostname amavis[14441]: (14441-04) (!!)TROUBLE in check_mail: parts_decode_ext FAILED: file(1) utility (/usr/bin/file) error: run_command (open pipe): Can't fork at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/IO/File.pm line 66. at /usr/sbin/amavisd-new line 2892.

Any pointers on this one?

 

Please try to restart amavisd.

 

I've tried this several times.
It keeps crashing, and I have to get it up and running again.
Installed Monit to do the restarting aswell.

Why does this happen?

I think I solved it by rebooting the entire server....

Can you post your /etc/postfix/main.cf here?

 

Main cf

Dear Sir,

I have made some changes in main.cf The changes I made was as under

I have uncommented
myhostname = isp.mydomain.com & have changed name of the Domain
mydomain = mydomain.com
myorigin = $myhostname
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mynetworks = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, 127.0.0.0/8

Further, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my public IP address

Thanks for your kind support

Sir,

I did as per your recommendations but didn't work

My Further question is as under;

I have installed ISP config on Cloud server as per shell script given on your forum thread #

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47166

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47167

Then I created Client , Email account, DNS(Manual) as per instructions given in your Manual.

My request is if you can provide the following

1. Settings on Postfix to be done ( which all files to be edited/uncommented like main.cf or any other file
2. Some Documentation to make any other changes to make trouble free working of the server

I would really appreciate your advice

Thanks

Abin

 

Either use

Code:

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8

or

Code:

mynetworks = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32, 127.0.0.0/8

 

Email

Hello,

Finally, I am able to send Outgoing emails

[email protected] to [email protected]

When Yourdomain.com replies to [email protected] its getting bounced back & the error is as under;

"Name service error for
name=isp.xxx.com type=AAAA: Host not found"

I am trying to configure DNS manually & have updated with A , Cname & MX records

Please advice

Thanks

.Co Domain

Hello,

I have installed ISpconfig 3 on one server & able to send / receive emails

Now I am trying to build another server using .co domain

I have uncommented the following
myhostname = mydomain.co & have changed name of the Domain
mydomain = mydomain.co
myorigin = $myhostname
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::1]/128

then

service postfix restart

after that if I update php update.php everything works fine but following error coming

[Tue Nov 30 14:17:43 2010] [warn] module suphp_module is already loaded, skippin
g
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, us
ing xxx.co for ServerName

Then If I check Main,cf again my hostname is being changed from

xxx.co
to

Further, I am able to send/receive emails to Gmail but to other domains I am getting the following error

Please advice

Which distribution do you use?

 

Fedora

Please run

Code:

system-config-network 

and set an FQDN as your hostname (e.g. server1.gxl.co; make sure the FQDN exists in DNS).
